FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of immunoassays, and inparticular to antibodies that bind to risperidone which can be used inimmunoassays for detection of risperidone.

BACKGROUND

Schizophrenia is a chronic and debilitating psychiatric disorderaffecting approximately 0.45-1% of the world's population (van Os, J.;Kapur, S. “Schizophrenia” Lancet 2009, 374, 635-645). The principalgoals of treatment are to achieve sustained remission from psychoticsymptoms, reduce the risk and consequences of relapse, and improvepatient functioning and overall quality of life. While many patientswith schizophrenia are able to achieve symptom stability with theavailable antipsychotic medications, poor adherence to medication is acommon reason for relapse with daily administered oral medications.Several studies (Abdel-Baki, A.; Ouellet-Plamondon, C.; Malla, A.“Pharmacotherapy Challenges in Patients with First-Episode Psychosis”Journal of Affective Disorders 2012, 138, S3-S14) investigating theoutcomes of non-compliance have shown that patients with schizophreniawho do not take their medication as prescribed have higher rates ofrelapse, hospital admission and suicide as well as increased mortality.It is estimated that 40 to 75% of patients with schizophrenia havedifficulty adhering to a daily oral treatment regimen (Lieberman, J. A.;Stroup, T. S.; McEvoy, J. P.; Swartz, M. S.; Rosenheck, R. A.; Perkins,D. O.; Keefe, R. S. E.; Davis, S. M.; Davis, C. E.; Lebowitz, B. D.;Severe, J.; Hsiao, J. K. “Effectiveness of Antipyschotic Drugs inPatients with Chronic Schizophrenia” New England Journal of Medicine2005, 353(12), 1209-1223).

Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the quantification of serum orplasma concentrations of drugs, including anti-psychotic drugs, fortreatment monitoring and optimization. Such monitoring permits, forexample, the identification of patients that are not adhering to theirmedication regimen, that are not achieving therapeutic doses, that arenon-responsive at therapeutic doses, that have suboptimal tolerability,that have pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions, or that have abnormalmetabolism resulting in inappropriate plasma concentrations.Considerable individual variability exists in the patient's ability toabsorb, distribute, metabolize, and excrete anti-psychotic drugs. Suchdifferences can be caused by concurrent disease, age, concomitantmedication or genetic peculiarities. Different drug formulations canalso influence the metabolism of anti-psychotic drugs. TDM permits doseoptimization for individual patients, improving therapeutic andfunctional outcomes. TDM further permits a prescribing clinician toensure compliance with prescribed dosages and achievement of effectiveserum concentrations.

To date, methods for determining the levels of serum or plasmaconcentrations of anti-psychotic drugs involve the use of liquidchromatography (LC) with UV or mass spectrometry detection, andradioimmunoassays (see, for example, Woestenborghs et al., 1990 “On theselectivity of some recently developed RIA's” in Methodological Surveysin Biochemistry and Analysis 20:241-246. Analysis of Drugs andMetabolites, Including Anti-infective Agents; Heykants et al., 1994 “ThePharmacokinetics of Risperidone in Humans: A Summary”, J Clin Psychiatry55/5, suppl: 13-17; Huang et al., 1993 “Pharmacokinetics of the novelanti-psychotic agent risperidone and the prolactin response in healthysubjects”, Clin Pharmacol Ther 54:257-268). Radioimmunoassays detect oneor both of risperidone and paliperidone. Salamone et al. in U.S. Pat.No. 8,088,594 disclose a competitive immunoassay for risperidone usingantibodies that detect both risperidone and paliperidone but notpharmacologically inactive metabolites. The antibodies used in thecompetitive immunoassay are developed against a particular immunogen. IDLabs Inc. (London, Ontario, Canada) markets an ELISA for olanzapine,another anti-psychotic drug, which also utilizes a competitive format.The Instructions For Use indicate that the assay is designed forscreening purposes and intended for forensic or research use, and isspecifically not intended for therapeutic use. The Instructionsrecommend that all positive samples should be confirmed with gaschromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and indicate that the antibodyused detects olanzapine and clozapine (see ID Labs Inc., “InstructionsFor Use Data Sheet IDEL-F083”, Rev. Date Aug. 8, 2011). Some of thesemethods, namely HPLC and GC/MS, can be expensive and labor-intensive,and are generally only performed in large or specialty labs having theappropriate equipment.

A need exists for other methods for determining the levels ofanti-psychotic drugs, particularly methods that can be performed in aprescribing clinician's office (where the treatment for an individualpatient can be adjusted accordingly in a much more timely manner) and inother medical settings lacking LC or GC/MS equipment or requiring rapidtest results.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following terms are used to describe the sequence relationshipsbetween two or more polynucleotide or amino acid sequences: “referencesequence”, “comparison window”, “sequence identity”, “percentage ofsequence identity”, “substantial identity”, “similarity”, and“homologous”. A “reference sequence” is a defined sequence used as abasis for a sequence comparison; a reference sequence may be a subset ofa larger sequence, for example, a segment of a full length cDNA or genesequence given in a sequence listing or may comprise a complete cDNA orgene sequence; a reference sequence may comprise a segment of a completeamino acid sequence encoding a protein as given in a sequence listing ormay comprise a complete amino acid sequence encoding a protein.Generally, a reference sequence is at least 18 nucleotides or 6 aminoacids in length, frequently at least 24 nucleotides or 8 amino acids inlength, and often at least 48 nucleotides or 16 amino acids in length.Since two polynucleotide or amino acid sequences may each (1) comprise asequence (i.e., a portion of the complete nucleotide or amino acidsequence) that is similar between the two molecules, and (2) may furthercomprise a sequence that is divergent between the two polynucleotide oramino acid sequences, sequence comparisons between two (or more)molecules are typically performed by comparing sequences of the twomolecules over a “comparison window” to identify and compare localregions of sequence similarity. A “comparison window”, as used herein,refers to a conceptual segment of at least 18 contiguous nucleotidepositions or 6 amino acids wherein the polynucleotide sequence or aminoacid sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of at least 18contiguous nucleotides or 6 amino acids and wherein the portion of thepolynucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence in the comparison windowmay comprise additions, deletions, substitutions, and the like (i.e.,gaps) of 20 percent or less as compared to the reference sequence (whichdoes not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of thetwo sequences. Optimal alignment of sequences for aligning a comparisonwindow may be conducted by the local homology algorithm of Smith andWaterman, Adv. Appl. Math 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignmentalgorithm of Needlemen and Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 (1970), by thesearch for similarity method of Pearson and Lipman, Proc. Natl. Acad.Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), by computerized implementations of thesealgorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin GeneticsSoftware Package Release 7.0 (Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr.,Madison, Wis.), Geneworks or MacVector software packages), or byinspection, and the best alignment (i.e., resulting in the highestpercentage of identity over the comparison window) generated by thevarious methods is selected.

The term “sequence identity” means that two polynucleotide or amino acidsequences are identical (i.e., on a nucleotide-by-nucleotide or aminoacid residue-by-residue basis) over the comparison window. The term“percentage of sequence identity” is calculated by comparing twooptimally aligned sequences over the window of comparison, determiningthe number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base (e.g.,A, T, C, G, or U) or amino acid residue occurs in both sequences toyield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matchedpositions by the total number of positions in the comparison window(i.e., the window size), and multiplying the result by 100 to yield thepercentage of sequence identity. The term “substantial identity” as usedherein denotes a characteristic of a polynucleotide or amino acidsequence, wherein the polynucleotide or amino acid sequence comprises asequence that has at least 85 percent sequence identity, preferably atleast 90 to 95 percent sequence identity, more usually at least 99percent sequence identity as compared to a reference sequence over acomparison window of at least 18 nucleotide (6 amino acid) positions,frequently over a window of at least 24-48 nucleotide (8-16 amino acid)positions, wherein the percentage of sequence identity is calculated bycomparing the reference sequence to the sequence which may includedeletions or additions which total 20 percent or less of the referencesequence over the comparison window. The reference sequence may be asubset of a larger sequence. The term “similarity”, when used todescribe a polypeptide, is determined by comparing the amino acidsequence and the conserved amino acid substitutions of one polypeptideto the sequence of a second polypeptide. The term “homologous”, whenused to describe a polynucleotide, indicates that two polynucleotides,or designated sequences thereof, when optimally aligned and compared,are identical, with appropriate nucleotide insertions or deletions, inat least 70% of the nucleotides, usually from about 75% to 99%, and morepreferably at least about 98% to 99% of the nucleotides.

A “label,” “detector molecule,” “reporter” or “detectable marker” asused herein is any molecule which produces, or can be induced toproduce, a detectable signal. The label can be conjugated to an analyte,immunogen, antibody, or to another molecule such as a receptor or amolecule that can bind to a receptor such as a ligand, particularly ahapten or antibody. A label can be attached directly or indirectly bymeans of a linking or bridging moiety. Non-limiting examples of labelsinclude radioactive isotopes (e.g., ¹²⁵I), enzymes (e.g.β-galactosidase, peroxidase), enzyme fragments, enzyme substrates,enzyme inhibitors, coenzymes, catalysts, fluorophores (e.g., rhodamine,fluorescein isothiocyanate or FITC, or Dylight 649), dyes,chemiluminescers and luminescers (e.g., dioxetanes, luciferin), orsensitizers.

Antibodies

The present invention provides an isolated antibody which binds torisperidone. The term “antibody” refers to a specific protein capable ofbinding an antigen or portion thereof (in accordance with thisinvention, capable of binding to an anti-psychotic drug or metabolitethereof). An antibody is produced in response to an immunogen which mayhave been introduced into a host, e.g., an animal or a human, byinjection. The generic term “antibody” includes polyclonal antibodies,monoclonal antibodies, and antibody fragments.

“Antibody” or “antigen-binding antibody fragment” refers to an intactantibody, or a fragment thereof, that competes with the intact antibodyfor binding. Generally speaking, an antibody or antigen-binding antibodyfragment, is said to specifically bind an antigen when the dissociationconstant is less than or equal to 1 μM, preferably less than or equal to100 nM and most preferably less than or equal to 10 nM. Binding can bemeasured by methods know to those skilled in the art, an example beingthe use of a BIAcore™ instrument.

Antibodies are made up of two heavy chains and two light chains. Eachheavy chain has one variable domain or region (V_(H)) followed by aconstant domain or region (C_(H)1), a hinge region, and two moreconstant domains or regions (C_(H)2 and C_(H)3). Each light chain hasone variable domain or region (V_(L)) and one constant domain or region(C_(L)). The variable domains or regions of the heavy and light chainsform the paratope of the antibody (a structure analogous to a lock),which is specific for a particular epitope (similarly analogous to akey), allowing the paratope and the epitope to bind together withprecision. Within the variable domain, variable loops of β-strands,three each on the light and heavy chains, are responsible for binding tothe antigen. These loops are referred to as the complementaritydetermining regions (CDRs, namely CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3).

Antibody fragments comprise a portion of an intact antibody, preferablythe antigen binding or variable region of the intact antibody. Bindingfragments include Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)₂, and Fv fragments; diabodies;minibodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g.,scFV); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. Anantibody other than a “bispecific” or “bifunctional” antibody isunderstood to have each of its binding sites identical.

As used herein, “epitope” includes any protein determinant capable ofspecific binding to an immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor. Epitopicdeterminants usually consist of chemically active surface groupings ofmolecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and usually havespecific three dimensional structural characteristics, as well asspecific charge characteristics. Two antibodies are said to “bind thesame epitope” (“compete”) if one antibody is shown to compete with thesecond antibody in a competitive binding assay, by any of the methodswell known to those skilled in the art (such as the BIAcore™ methodreferred to above). In reference to a hapten (such as risperidone orother anti-psychotic drug), an antibody can be generated against thenon-antigenic hapten molecule by conjugating the hapten to animmunogenic carrier. An antibody is then generated which recognizes an“epitope” defined by the hapten.

“Isolated” when used in the context of an antibody means altered “by thehand of man” from any natural state; i.e., that, if it occurs in nature,it has been changed or removed from its original environment, or both.For example, a naturally occurring antibody naturally present in aliving animal in its natural state is not “isolated”, but the sameantibody separated from the coexisting materials of its natural state is“isolated”, as the term is employed herein. Antibodies may occur in acomposition, such as an immunoassay reagent, which are not naturallyoccurring compositions, and therein remain isolated antibodies withinthe meaning of that term as it is employed herein.

“Cross-reactivity” refers to the reaction of an antibody with an antigenthat was not used to induce that antibody.

Preferably, the antibody of the subject invention will bind to the drugand any desired pharmacologically active metabolites. By altering thelocation of the attachment of an immunogenic carrier in a drugconjugate, selectivity and cross-reactivity with metabolites and/orrelated drugs can be engineered into the antibodies. For risperidone,cross-reactivity with risperidone metabolites such as9-hydroxyrisperidone (paliperidone, which is also administered as ananti-psychotic drug), 7-hydroxyrisperidone, and N-dealkylrisperidone mayor may not be desirable. An antibody that cross-reacts with risperidoneand paliperidone may be desirable, which does not react with7-hydroxyrisperidone or N-dealkylrisperidone, thus detecting risperidoneand its major pharmacologically active metabolite. Alternatively, it maybe desirable to detect the pharmacologically active metabolites,risperidone and paliperidone, separately, while still not detecting theinactive metabolites, 7-hydroxyrisperidone and N-dealkylrisperidone.Antibodies may be generated that detect multiple ones of these drugsand/or metabolites, or antibodies may be generated that detect eachseparately (thus defining the antibody “specific binding” properties).An antibody specifically binds one or more compounds when its binding ofthe one or more compounds is equimolar or substantially equimolar.

The antibodies herein are described by the nucleotide and amino acidsequences of their variable domains. Each was generated by inoculating ahost with a conjugate comprising an anti-psychotic drug conjugated to animmunogenic carrier. Having now provided the nucleotide and amino acidsequences thereof, the antibodies can be produced by the recombinantmethods such as are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,166,452.

Antibody fragments which contain specific binding sites for theanti-psychotic drug may also be generated. Such fragments include, butare not limited to, the F(ab′)₂ fragments which can be produced bypepsin digestion of the antibody molecule and the Fab fragments whichcan be generated by reducing the disulfide bridges of the F(ab′)₂fragments. Alternatively, Fab expression libraries may be constructed toallow rapid and easy identification of monoclonal Fab fragments with thedesired specificity (Huse et al., Science 256:1270-1281 (1989)). Fab, Fvand ScFv antibody fragments can all be expressed in and secreted fromEscherichia coli, allowing for the production of large amounts of thesefragments. Alternatively, Fab′-SH fragments can be directly recoveredfrom E. coli and chemically coupled to form F(ab′)₂ fragments (Carter etal., BioTechnology 10:163-167 (1992)). Other techniques for theproduction of antibody fragments are known to those skilled in the art.Single chain Fv fragments (scFv) are also envisioned (see U.S. Pat. Nos.5,761,894 and 5,587,458). Fv and sFv fragments are the only species withintact combining sites that are devoid of constant regions; thus, theyare likely to show reduced non-specific binding. The antibody fragmentmay also be a “linear antibody” e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No.5,642,870, for example. Such linear antibody fragments may bemonospecific or bispecific.

Assay Kits and Devices

An assay kit (also referred to as a reagent kit) can also be providedcomprising an antibody as described above. A representative reagent kitmay comprise an antibody that binds to the anti-psychotic drug,risperidone, a complex comprising an analog of an anti-psychotic drug ora derivative thereof coupled to a labeling moiety, and may optionallyalso comprise one or more calibrators comprising a known amount of ananti-psychotic drug or a related standard.

The phrase “assay kit” refers to an assembly of materials and reagentsthat is used in performing an assay. The reagents can be provided inpackaged combination in the same or in separate containers, depending ontheir cross-reactivities and stabilities, and in liquid or inlyophilized form. The amounts and proportions of reagents provided inthe kit can be selected so as to provide optimum results for aparticular application. An assay kit embodying features of the presentinvention comprises antibodies which bind risperidone. The kit mayfurther comprise competitive binding partners of risperidone andcalibration and control materials.

The phrase “calibration and control material” refers to any standard orreference material containing a known amount of an analyte. A samplesuspected of containing an analyte and the corresponding calibrationmaterial are assayed under similar conditions. The concentration ofanalyte is calculated by comparing the results obtained for the unknownspecimen with the results obtained for the standard. This is commonlydone by constructing a calibration curve.

Antibodies embodying features of the present invention can be includedin a kit, container, pack, or dispenser together with instructions fortheir utilization. When the antibodies are supplied in a kit, thedifferent components of the immunoassay may be packaged in separatecontainers and admixed prior to use. Such packaging of the componentsseparately may permit long-term storage without substantiallydiminishing the functioning of the active components. Furthermore,reagents can be packaged under inert environments, e.g., under apositive pressure of nitrogen gas, argon gas, or the like, which isespecially preferred for reagents that are sensitive to air and/ormoisture.

Reagents included in kits embodying features of the present inventioncan be supplied in all manner of containers such that the activities ofthe different components are substantially preserved while thecomponents themselves are not substantially adsorbed or altered by thematerials of the container. Suitable containers include, but are notlimited to, ampules, bottles, test tubes, vials, flasks, syringes,envelopes, e.g., foil-lined, and the like. The containers may becomprised of any suitable material including, but not limited to, glass,organic polymers, e.g., polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyethylene, etc.,ceramic, metal, e.g., aluminum, metal alloys, e.g., steel, cork, and thelike. In addition, the containers may comprise one or more sterileaccess ports, e.g., for access via a needle, such as may be provided bya septum. Preferred materials for septa include rubber andpolytetrafluoroethylene of the type sold under the trade name TEFLON byDuPont (Wilmington, Del.). In addition, the containers may comprise twoor more compartments separated by partitions or membranes that can beremoved to allow mixing of the components.

Reagent kits embodying features of the present invention may also besupplied with instructional materials. Instructions may be printed,e.g., on paper and/or supplied in an electronically-readable medium.Alternatively, instructions may be provided by directing a user to aninternet website, e.g., specified by the manufacturer or distributor ofthe kit and/or via electronic mail.

The antibody may also be provided as part of an assay device. Such assaydevices include lateral flow assay devices. A common type of disposablelateral flow assay device includes a zone or area for receiving theliquid sample, a conjugate zone, and a reaction zone. These assaydevices are commonly known as lateral flow test strips. They employ aporous material, e.g., nitrocellulose, defining a path for fluid flowcapable of supporting capillary flow. Examples include those shown inU.S. Pat. Nos. 5,559,041, 5,714,389, 5,120,643, and 6,228,660 all ofwhich are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

Another type of assay device is a non-porous assay device havingprojections to induce capillary flow. Examples of such assay devicesinclude the open lateral flow device as disclosed in PCT InternationalPublication Nos. WO 2003/103835, WO 2005/089082, WO 2005/118139, and WO2006/137785, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in theirentireties.

In a non-porous assay device, the assay device generally has at leastone sample addition zone, at least one conjugate zone, at least onereaction zone, and at least one wicking zone. The zones form a flow pathby which sample flows from the sample addition zone to the wicking zone.Also included are capture elements, such as antibodies, in the reactionzone, capable of binding to the analyte, optionally deposited on thedevice (such as by coating); and a labeled conjugate material alsocapable of participating in reactions that will enable determination ofthe concentration of the analyte, deposited on the device in theconjugate zone, wherein the labeled conjugate material carries a labelfor detection in the reaction zone. The conjugate material is dissolvedas the sample flows through the conjugate zone forming a conjugate plumeof dissolved labeled conjugate material and sample that flows downstreamto the reaction zone. As the conjugate plume flows into the reactionzone, the conjugated material will be captured by the capture elementssuch as via a complex of conjugated material and analyte (as in a“sandwich” assay) or directly (as in a “competitive” assay). Unbounddissolved conjugate material will be swept past the reaction zone intothe at least one wicking zone. Such devices can include projections ormicropillars in the flow path.

An instrument such as that disclosed in US Patent Publication Nos.US20060289787A1 and US 20070231883A1, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,416,700 and6,139,800, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in theirentireties, is able to detect the bound conjugated material in thereaction zone. Common labels include fluorescent dyes that can bedetected by instruments which excite the fluorescent dyes andincorporate a detector capable of detecting the fluorescent dyes.

Immunoassays

The antibodies thus produced can be used in immunoassays torecognize/bind to the anti-psychotic drug, thereby detecting thepresence and/or amount of the drug in a patient sample. Preferably, theassay format is a competitive immunoassay format. Such an assay formatand other assays are described, among other places, in Hampton et al.(Serological Methods, A Laboratory Manual, APS Press, St. Paul, Minn.1990) and Maddox et al. (J. Exp. Med. 158:12111, 1983).

The term “analyte” refers to any substance or group of substances, thepresence or amount of which is to be determined. Representativeanti-psychotic drug analytes include, but are not limited to,risperidone, paliperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, and quetiapine.

The term “competitive binding partner” refers to a substance or group ofsubstances, such as may be employed in a competitive immunoassay, whichbehave similarly to an analyte with respect to binding affinity to anantibody. Representative competitive binding partners include, but arenot limited to, anti-psychotic drug derivatives and the like.

The term “detecting” when used with an analyte refers to anyquantitative, semi-quantitative, or qualitative method as well as to allother methods for determining an analyte in general, and ananti-psychotic drug in particular. For example, a method that merelydetects the presence or absence of an anti-psychotic drug in a samplelies within the scope of the present invention, as do methods thatprovide data as to the amount or concentration of the anti-psychoticdrug in the sample. The terms “detecting”, “determining”, “identifying”,and the like are used synonymously herein, and all lie within the scopeof the present invention.

A preferred embodiment of the subject invention is a competitiveimmunoassay wherein antibodies which bind the anti-psychotic drug, orthe drug or competitive binding partner thereof, are attached to a solidsupport (such as the reaction zone in a lateral flow assay device) andlabeled drug or competitive binding partner thereof, or labeledantibody, respectively, and a sample derived from the host are passedover the solid support and the amount of label detected attached to thesolid support can be correlated to a quantity of drug in the sample.

Any sample that is suspected of containing an analyte, e.g., ananti-psychotic drug, can be analyzed in accordance with the methods ofthe presently preferred embodiments. The sample can be pretreated ifdesired and can be prepared in any convenient medium that does notinterfere with the assay. Preferably, the sample comprises an aqueousmedium such as a body fluid from a host, most preferably plasma orserum.

It is to be understood that all manner of immunoassays employingantibodies are contemplated for use in accordance with the presentlypreferred embodiments, including assays in which antibodies are bound tosolid phases and assays in which antibodies are in liquid media. Methodsof immunoassays that can be used to detect analytes using antibodiesembodying features of the present invention include, but are not limitedto, competitive (reagent limited) assays wherein labeled analyte(analyte analog) and analyte in a sample compete for antibodies andsingle-site immunometric assays wherein the antibody is labeled; and thelike.

All examples were carried out using standard techniques, which are wellknown and routine to those of skill in the art, except where otherwisedescribed in detail.

After clones were identified via ELISA reactivity, competition ELISAswere run to approximate affinity and cross-reactivity with similarcompounds. FIGS. 1 and 2 show the ELISA cross-reactivity results fromhybridoma subclone 5_(—)9. Data shows reactivity to risperidone, as wellas its metabolites paliperidone and 7-hydroxyrisperidone.

Supernatants were also tested by competition ELISA to determine if thesignals were specific to either risperidone or paliperidone. FIG. 3shows the results from hybridoma subclone 2A5. Data shows reactivity toboth risperidone and paliperidone.

FIG. 4 shows the competitive immunoassay format used on a lateral flowassay device in which the capture antibody, risperidone/paliperidoneclone 5-9, was deposited on a chip along with a detection conjugateconsisting of risperidone conjugated to a fluorophore. In thiscompetitive format as show in FIG. 4, a low level of analyte(paliperidone) results in high signal, whereas a high level of analyte(paliperidone) results in low signal. The amount of paliperidone in thesample can be calculated from the loss of fluorescence compared to acontrol sample with no drug present. A typical dose response curvegenerated with risperidone/paliperidone clone 5-9 is shown in FIG. 5.

FIG. 6 shows the chip design of a lateral flow assay device according toone embodiment of the subject invention. The device includes a zone orarea for receiving the sample, a conjugate zone (which contains desiredlabeled competitive binding partner(s)), and a reaction zone (eightareas within the reaction zone are indicated; each area can contain aseparate desired antibody). Sample flows from the sample zone throughthe conjugate zone and to the reaction zone.

FIGS. 7-10 show typical dose response curves for an aripiprazolepositive control (sample containing aripiprazole) generated withantibody 5C7 deposited in reaction zone 2 and a labeled aripiprazolecompetitive binding partner in the conjugate zone (FIG. 7), anolanzapine positive control (sample containing olanzapine) generatedwith antibody 4G9-1 deposited in reaction zone 4 and a labeledolanzapine competitive binding partner in the conjugate zone (FIG. 8), aquetiapine positive control (sample containing quetiapine) generatedwith antibody 11 deposited in reaction zone 6 and a labeled quetiapinecompetitive binding partner in the conjugate zone (FIG. 9), and arisperidone positive control (sample containing risperidone) generatedwith antibody 5-9 deposited in reaction zone 8 and a labeled risperidonecompetitive binding partner in the conjugate zone (FIG. 10). The labeledcompetitive binding partners in the conjugate zone compete with thedrugs present in the samples for binding to the antibodies. The amountof label is detected and is an indication of the amount of drug presentin the sample (the amount of signal being inversely proportional to theamount of drug in the sample—see FIG. 4).

In order to confirm that conjugates of labeled competitive bindingpartners do not bind to antibodies deposited in the reaction zones,negative controls were conducted by using samples containing no drugs.Referring to Table 3, a sample containing no aripiprazole is depositedin the sample zone and moves by capillary action through the conjugatezone (this time containing labeled olanzapine, labeled quetiapine, andlabeled risperidone, but no labeled aripiprazole) and to the reactionzone.
